# BrightAuthor Classic

If you have enabled local access to the DWS ([DWS: Local Access](docId\:IAFCHERlJfjDJTWTtKpk5)), the IP address will be listed in the **Info** tab.

# Display / Screen

If you power up the player without a storage device (e.g., a microSD card), the IP address should appear on the connected display after a few moments.

# Router

If you have access to the network router, you can log in and see which IP address is assigned to the entry with the player's MAC address. The MAC address of the player is located on the bottom of the player; it is also displayed when you power up the unit without a storage device.
